Thank you guys for picking up IDS. I think it has good promise. I thought I should mention that the able of contents on both projects tend to stay a few chapters out of date, not that it matters very much. I was wondering if you would put the chapter titles beside the chapter numbers in the table of contents. The titles make it easier to find a specific chapter if you are searching for certain names, events, etc. When you are trying to remember something that happened and all you can look at is numbers, then it takes a lot longer to find the right chapter. 😛 Again thank you for all you do for us poor addicts. ^_^

I also think it would be more helpful if you didn’t use footnotes and instead places the TL notes at the end of the paragraph you are referencing. seeing a * or a little 1,2,3 then going to the end of the chapter to find the note tends to be a little annoying and takes away from the story. Most TL just put a () or [] with the neede information at the end of the sentence or paragraph so the readers don’t have to search for the interpretation or history information. It also makes for an easier read.

I also think that adding next and previous chapter links at the top of the chapter can be helpful as well. I attempted to just edit the link to quickly move to another chapter and it took me to an IGE chapter, you need to change the links to separate the two works. something like arantranslations.com/IGE/008 or arantranslations.com/IDS/008. That would ensure that both sets of chapters would never get mixed up. I hope my thoughts are helpful and not annoying. V_V

I started to read this a year or more ago, but then I lost my bookmarks when my phone died, and I couldn’t remember the name of this novel! All I could remember was very vague things, such as there’s a beautiful garden! And there’s a boat and then a problem!

Eventually, I remembered the birth secret mentioned in the prologue and have been trying to figure out the title based on that.

For some reason, I can log into WordPress but not into Wuxiaworld (heh, dictation autocorrect sez: work SeaWorld), and I’ve been too lazy to create an account elsewhere, but finally today on the chat at LNMTL I got the help I needed from @canon4532 & @Veerix!

I almost missed out because of the Modern Times tag at Novel Updates, but it turns out that this was set in Modern MAGICAL Times! Whole different, alternate universe thing!

So know that your work is so appreciated that I rambled through an entire year of trying to figure out what I had been reading. Thanks again!
